For Advocates: Using Technology to Communicate with Survivors During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Description

Registration for this webinar has reached capacity. A recording of the webinar will be posted and shared as quickly as possible.

This webinar is meant for front-line advocates who are navigating using technology to continue providing support to survivors. Whether answering hotline calls, hosting online support groups, or facilitating a forum discussion; this webinar will look at the challenges and opportunities raised by tele/online-support services. Many of the skills needed are those advocates already have – we’ll look at how the existing skills of empathy and active listening translate to online spaces. We’ll also explore considerations for ensuring informed consent, prioritizing privacy and confidentiality, and maintaining tech security.

This webinar will have Closed Captioning and American Sign Language Interpretation.
